Since the Toronto Maple Leafs grabbed the No. 1 pick in the NHL Draft, the conversation has mostly been about Gavin McKenna going first overall. Still, another winger named Ivar Stenberg is in the mix at the very top. Today, the guys compare McKenna and Stenberg and discuss if there’s a realistic case for the Leafs to take the Swede over the Canadian with the top pick. Plus, a deep dive into the draft’s center class, headlined by Caleb Malhotra and a quick Men’s World Championship prospect check-in and Memorial Cup picks to close things out.
